Chapter 25 Campus

Class leader Wu Wen's hospital ward was in a state of lockdown, prohibiting any visitors. According to the doctor, she still needed to stay in the hospital for half a month.

However, the surgery was very successful, and there would be no side effects afterward.

Luo Di was discharged from the hospital the next afternoon and also received a new wristband, with all personal data saved in the cloud.

[No. 13 Settlement District]

With six days left until the National Founding Day, Luo Di spent the time alone at home,

cleaning, cooking, watching discs, and exercising.

He also took some time to search online for information about 'Hell' and 'symbols', and before going to sleep, he would also read the demon-exorcism novels gifted by Gao Yuxuan.

During this period, Anna had also called to invite him out, but Luo Di declined using household chores as a reason, not wanting to allow trivial matters to interrupt the "normal life" he had just regained.

Soon, the fifteen-day National Founding Day celebration ended,

He didn't need an alarm clock,

Luo Di maintained his habit of waking up at six o'clock regardless of the time, and immediately did four sets of push-ups with fifty in each set upon getting out of bed.

After showering off the sweat, he changed into his summer school uniform.

On the dining table was a freshly cooked bowl of noodles topped with greens, a fried egg, and minced meat—a breakfast specially made by his mother.

While eating the noodles, Luo Di also remembered to take the vitamin tablet gifted by the class leader,

Before leaving, he also fed the Horned Parrot kept on the balcony,

Everything ready, Luo Di with his backpack passed by the kitchen door, looking at his mother's back as she prepared other ingredients.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

…

[Jupiter City Fourth Middle School], also known as [Fourth Middle School]

The school also ranks fourth in comprehensive strength in the city's districts, and though there's quite a gap compared to the top school Anna attends, it's still considered a very good school for ordinary students.

The school has a comprehensive gymnasium and track field that meet the high school requirements, also known as the Sports Center.

Other facilities, such as the teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, school hospital, office building, and cafeteria, are all built around the Sports Center.

Physical Education is the most important subject for the students,

During admissions, in Huaxia, known as the "college entrance examination",

The physical education score has a terrifying 50% weight. The remaining 50% is made up of logical thinking and general studies, with 30% for the former and 20% for the latter.

Of course, these ratios are not absolute and vary depending on students' admission goals and the changing annual requirements.

Early in the morning entering school,

Students gathered in the track field by class, initiating a half-hour morning run with strict lap requirements.

"Luo Di!"

When the morning run ended, Gao Yuxuan approached to greet him, and the two walked back to the classroom together.

"The class leader hasn't come back yet; I'm temporarily in charge. It's your turn for duty today, so go directly to the Security Room later, no need to return to the classroom."

"Okay."

After a brief exchange, Luo Di separated from the stream of students heading to the teaching building.

[Duty students] have a very special job to do in the school, not merely responsible for tasks like the blackboard or cleaning corners.

After the morning run, duty students from each class need to head to the Security Room, where they, under the guidance of fully equipped security personnel, patrol all regions of the school to mitigate any potential "Corner risks."

This mainly includes the following points:

1. Check the condition of all light fixtures,

2. Feed each of the Horned Parrots hanging at the ends of the corridors, turn corners, and other places prone to create corners.

3. Duty students who have submitted for medical assistance will also go to the School Medical Room to help with the psychological screening of all students.

The entire day's duty will be spent patrolling, with no need for classes.

Since the establishment of Fourth Middle School, there has never been any problems.

The duty students mainly aim to cultivate students' safety awareness for corners, so that after entering society through future admissions, they can keenly detect corner risks and handle them timely and correctly.

Luo Di's "habit" has not disappeared over time; he still unconsciously clicks his tongue during patrols.

In the blink of an eye, a week of school life has passed.

[10:30]

Physical education class ended,

Most people were exhaustedly lying on their desks, enjoying the hard-earned class break, staring at the upcoming cultural lessons on the schedule, their faces filled with joy and relaxation.

But Luo Di showed no intention of resting,

He used the empty area at the back of the classroom to start his in-between classes push-ups, doing so daily.

Such "involution behavior" often makes many people uncomfortable, which is one of the reasons why most of the class does not like to interact with Luo Di.

Gao Yuxuan, the vice-class president, was once one of these people, somewhat annoyed by Luo Di, the involution fanatic, trying his best to focus his attention on his own books.

But now it was different,

Gao Yuxuan put down the textbook he needed to review in advance, got up, went to the back of the classroom, lay down, and started doing push-ups along with Luo Di.

The two kept almost the same frequency, but trying to perform as standard as Luo Di became strenuous after surpassing forty push-ups.

Just as they were about to complete one hundred push-ups,

Someone walked through the back door of the classroom, their white sneakers stepping directly in front of them.

The tip of the shoe was stressed, the calf bent, crouching down.

"Hey! Can you two not keep involution like this? It's really stressful for me who just got out of the hospital, huge loss!"

A familiar and gentle voice entered their ears, stirring up between the dense nerves; even Luo Di was a bit stunned.

With both hands forcefully pushing up the final push-up,

Gradually shifting gaze met the eyes of the girl squatting in front,

"Class president!"

Gao Yuxuan exclaimed,

Meanwhile, Luo Di remained silent, quickly shifting his gaze to the class president's shoulder, obscured by her school uniform and thus difficult to see the specific situation.

Following this, all the classmates gathered around,

Everyone was concerned about the class president's condition, not knowing about the practical details, only aware that the class president took leave due to an accident injury.

Looking at the class president gradually surrounded by the crowd, Luo Di instinctively retreated back to his desk.

Ring~Ring~

The class bell rang, everyone returned to their own seats.

The prominent class president, when taking her own seat, deliberately turned around, casting her gaze towards the window-side seat, looking at Luo Di.

The latter, however, just stared at the blackboard, ready to seriously note down the important points the teacher was explaining.

The day's lessons ended quickly,

Luo Di, as usual, packed his backpack relatively slowly, perfectly timing his departure from school.

That dark shadow once again spread across his desk, just like the situation before National Day Eve. Only this time, it was not only the class president standing in front of his desk but also Gao Yuxuan, backpacks on.

"Luo Di, you shouldn't have any other plans tonight, right? It should be fine not to go home for dinner, right?"

"What's it about?"

"What about it! Didn't we agree, everyone goes for dinner to celebrate the success of the practice? Also, the City Research General Administration has contacted me, urging us to go discuss the 'compensation' matters earlier.

I suggest we all take a ride to the City Research Institute, then all go for dinner together, how about that?"

"Alright, I'll send a message home. Let's go."

Getting into the booked car, staring out the window at a different scenery than heading home, Luo Di did not feel irritable due to the disruption of his routine, but instead harbored a rare emotion.

Although this emotion was very faint, it completely relaxed his body.

His tongue unconsciously flicked inside his mouth, startling the class president and Gao Yuxuan in the same car, who quickly made him stop.
